Cartoons, children & some great works

by

You know, I get really excited when my child brings home yet another work of art.  I mean, it sometimes borders on ridiculous but honestly, what else are they going to do in kindergarten?  If not draw?  Then, what?

So, when I happed upon this post on Blissfully Domestic’s homeschooling post, I was more than a bit amused.  My child’s drawings do not look anything like the ones in the photo but nothing I’ve ever drawn looks like this either. 

I’ve read tons of posts about what to do with your children’s artwork when there is no more room on the fridge and basically that’s us, the fridge will not hold anything else.  So, I do the demonic thing and when my son is not looking, I pick out the good pieces that I want to keep and I *shutter* put the rest in the garbage.  Someone recommended making photos of the actual pieces of work and I had always planned to do that, but it just never happened. 

I do keep a box under my bed with all of the neat stuff that I happen to find extremely special but I never remember to make a photo of the stuff that *shutter* throw in the trash.

So, go check out the Cartoon History Notebook because man, this photo, this is classic isn’t it?
